Adapted from John Milton's Paradise Lost, Falling Star follows the story of Stan, a regular man working for a large corporation in space, after an attempted rebellion to take over the space station. Stan and his followers are thrown off the station and onto an uninhabitable planet where they must decide what they want to do: either trying to take the station back again by force or some alternative strategy. We follow Stan as he navigates what to do and how he will exact revenge on his former boss, the CEO.
